Leg Alignment
Leg alignment refers to the positioning of the legs in relation to the body and each other. Proper leg alignment is essential for maintaining balance, stability, and efficient movement during activities such as walking, running, and exercising. Misalignment can lead to discomfort, pain, and increased risk of injury.
Factors affecting leg alignment include muscle strength, flexibility, and posture. Regular assessments and exercises can help improve alignment, ensuring that the knees, ankles, and hips are properly aligned. This can enhance overall performance and reduce the likelihood of developing issues like shin splints or knee pain.
